Good to see the fair burghers of Liverpool are living up to their caring community ethos....

I read somewhere that the killer's name had been spraypainted on walls around Liverpool, why has nothing been done??

retired_v_meenucancer

because spraypainting someone's name on a wall is generally not regarded as the pinnacle of evidence?

retired_sherrijacobson

Obviously but at least get the person in for questioning

retired_derek

How do you know they haven't?

If they have done that, the person denies it and nobody is prepared to make a statement, how do you propose they find a way to actually charge him with the crime?

retired_Coastie

Yeah I heard that too.

The thing is there must be steady amount of people who know who the killer is and I think it said in that article that 12 people mentioned the same name in the last appeal.
A few months ago someone got kneecapped near where I live and there were text messages being sent around about who did it within a couple of hours.

Think it's likely they have a suspect, but need people to come forward with some hard evidence.

retired_navy0614

Everyone knows who it is, the police know who it is and the little scrote is walking around like Billy Big ******** boasting of doing him.

...they just can't proof anything.

I heard it was Zaitsev.

Well here's a conundrum. Why do people not reveal what they know, etc? This isn't the first crime where this has been the case. I remember a few years back in my home town when a couple of local thugs attacked the pub landlord, leaving him seriously beaten. Nobody would talk to the police when they got there, despite everyone knowing who it was, etc. Does that make me the stupid one for talking to the police? In the end, I was flown back from Macau to go to court in the case against them, only for them to plead guilty before I had my moment in the dock.
